Purpose/Goals:
|
This planning project included
practitioners and organizational stakeholders. The goal
was to develop viable, evidence-based practice models that would
enhance children’s mental health services in the primary care
setting. The project was instrumental in bringing together
stakeholders, holding a
statewide symposium with a national speaker, sharing best
practices and assembling criteria for successful integrated
projects. This information is now being used by the
Department of Health and Human Services to create structures and
reimbursement systems which will facilitate project development
statewide. Below
are several project-related documents, including surveys of
primary care providers and mental health professionals, as well
as a list of current integrated primary care and mental health
projects around Maine. |
